Hmm, yes.  But it would depend on which Arduino.

An Arduino with onboard USB serial, it would be better to plug the USB
cable into the XO, and access the /dev/ttyACM0 device that appears, and
have the Arduino send the data to the XO over the serial connection.

An Arduino without onboard USB serial, one might either add a USB to
serial converter and do the above (at some expense), or have the Arduino
transmit an audio frequency related to the sensor input ... and then
hook that into the microphone input.

Still, I think it is a bit early to speculate given we know nothing yet
of the actual sensor to Arduino interface.

Hey, this does look like a cool sensor for us to add.

The sensor likely will expect 3-5V of power like the Arduino provides (so,
USB power for us). Depending on how they've set it up, there might be some
logic beyond just the sensor input. If you are using an Arduino, you can add
a wire communicating back to the Measure activity through the microphone
input.

I was thinking of keeping the parts to a minimum. All the deployments
have XOs, but may not have an Arduino. If we can get something that
plugs into the audio mic port and USB port (power) then this would be
very cool.

Tom Boonsiri was working on something similar, but I never got to see
it or plans on how to make it...

If you do for example a Measure (activity) interface you can do it
i.e acquiring and processing data to displaying heart-rate with measure.

Also the XO itself can run the processing IDE of Arduino and also you can
plug an Arduino board to it w/o problem.

As always devil's in the details.
